PotatOS - Andrew

Mom:  Andrew get off that computer, you've been on it all day!
Me:  No, I've shoveled snow, done my homework, practiced piano, and walked the dog.  We have the day off school, what else do you want me to do?!
Mom:  I said GET OFF, or I'll rip that computer apart!
Me:  Fine, but you don't even know how to.
Mom:  Oh yes I do, I can get Dad to do it too (my dad still thinks the monitor is the computer).
Me:  Go ahead then.
Mom:  *Proceeds to unplug headphones*
Me:  -__-

Me:  Mom don't buy a new mac, you can save so much money with a Hackintosh, or just a PC.
Mom:  But I LIKE macs, they're so much more powerful.
Me:  Mom you can build such a better PC for the same price as a mac, you can even put mac OS on it.
Mom:  But mac os isn't meant to be on a PC, the apple geniuses won't cover it if something happens to it!
Me:  They don't know crap at the genius booth.  I can fix anything you come across
Mom:  No, you'll break it!
Me:  -__- I would've build this computer.  I would know it inside and out, do you really think I could break it so easily?

My school's IT blocked Bing too, for the reason of "Tastelessness."  That's actually what it says.

Sorry, bit of a short one here but someone just complained to me how Dell sucks.  Now, I can see if he meant their desktops, but their xps 12-13s look balls-to-the-wall glorious, so I asked why he thought that they suck.  He said they don't offer os x computers.

Oh... God... the formatting... help!
jk lol

So - as a friend was troubleshooting his PSU this week I got several gems from him.

#1
Him: My shuts off after a bit of gaming and PSU is hot to the touch!
Me: Likely overheating - try cleaning - the fan is normally enough to cool it though.
Him: Fan ain't spinning
Me: Hmm - better get a new one then - yours is a cheapo and poking around inside is hazardous
Him: I'll just change the fan, don't worry.
Me: No, no you don't just open a PSU with 0 knowledge.
Him: Dude, chill.

#2 - 1 hour later
Him: *sends link* is this a good PSU?
Me: *looks at 5$ used cheapo* Fuck no! - get this *links a 20$ DeepCool (he has a VERY small budget)
Him: 20$? Fuck off. Not paying 20$ for a PSU TopKek!
Me: Don't cheap out on it - this one is decent, has the needed connectors and is 80+ so less heat
Him: Are those PCs good btw?
Me: What PCs?
Him: The ones on the page - listed for 80-90$ - can they run CS:GO?
Me: Friend - those are just cases
Him: WTF? 80$ FOR A CASE? BULLSHIT!
 
#3 On the next day
Him: I'm buying a new PC - is 3GHz dual core, 4GB RAM and 1GB GPU good?
Me: What exact models?
Him: I don't know - I'm looking at this *sends link to 300$ pre-built from local version of Best Buy or Walmart*
Me: Fuck no, that's an iGPU and a Celeron!
Him: But is it good?
Me; NO!
Him: Will it run CS:GO??
Me: No.... Let me build you a decent PC with an A10 for CS:GO and such
Him: Dude, chill. I got this.
Me: No, no you don't...
Him: I'll just change my PSU's fan!
Me: I told you already, it's dangerous!
Him: Dude, chill!
 

i used a bootable usb on a display laptop at a best buy once.... i got kicked out for hacking.... all i did was boot into a live cd of linux to see how it would look on the system....(i never did get my flash drive back.)
 
like i think they legitimatley thought i was hacking into something just because i did that lol

i can only think of one way to fill up 35tb.... 

I couldn't imagine life without wifi...
I sound like a white girl now lol

Are you kidding me?  This is the best site ever!  It's so hilarious for people who know it's a joke and hilarious for those people to watch other people who think it's legit actually try to use it.

Use a Windows 10 install medium and install windows 10. It will ask you to verify your Windows license online. Since you already registered your Windows license to your motherboard, you will be abled to automatically register, no windows key needed.

Fuck you

Alright, this should be it:
 
1. Open the start menu (in zorin)
2. Click Accessories
3. Click Disks
 
It should be in the list of devices.
4. Select the flash drive
Over on the left side of the disks window
5. Click the two little gears (located under the "Volumes" area, around the middle of the window)
6. Click Format (Erase - Don't overwrite existing data (Quick), Type - compatible with all systems and devices (FAT), Name - Whatever you want.)
7. Click Format
 
That should work, if not, let me know and I'll look a little deeper into it.
 
You might just be able to edit the partitions of the drive to fix it.
6. Click Edit Partition
From there on, you'll have to figure it out; because I'm using it on a virtual machine, my flash drive doesn't show up in it, so I can't go through the process on it. (even though it's not even the one I needed to fix lol)

I would say S6/edge as it is the perfect size and exemplary build quality, but the battery life was nerfed so hard.  I have hardly any apps and no games on my s6 and I still barely make it through the day.  If you're anywhere near a power user stay far away from it.
 
EDIT:  I can't speak for the S6 active but it seems like a good phone, maybe look into that.

I couldn't have said it better.

You could start with Python. Python is good for beginners.

I know right "boo hoo the newspapers were mean about me... so I bought my 14th new Bentley" 

I couldn't have said it better.

I would be too busy driving my Ferrari and fucking bitches in the swimming pool to read what people are saying about me

It's been a long time.  How have you been?  You know, since you murdered me.

Tried explaining to some kid today that macs are good but are extremely over priced, but he just said they are expensive because they are the best laptop ever made. Gauged my eyes out with a pen.
